Is your story inadvertently offending your readers?
You’ve written your best work yet! The world you created is brimming with unique details, and the relationships between your characters are as complex as those in real life. You are passionate about your story and its characters—and rightly so.
But have you considered how readers from diverse backgrounds, experiences, or communities might interpret your writing?
What if, despite your best efforts to be inclusive, an insensitive portrayal or harmful stereotype found its way into your manuscript?
Now, readers are hurt and have no qualms leaving crushing reviews. All that hard work—and then this! You might as well give up. 😭
You don’t want that happening to you.
And guess what? It doesn’t have to!
My sensitivity readers can identity and flag sensitivity issues in your manuscript, so you can make corrections before your book goes live.
What we can do for you
My team of sensitivity readers consists of three highly capable and caring people from diverse backgrounds, and myself. We know, from lived experience, about the struggles of people from forgotten groups.
This is why we focus exclusively on the following sensitivity issues:
- LGBTQI+ representation
- Neurodiversity
- Chronic illness
- Physical disabilities
- Mental health portrayals
Sounds good? Then, let’s connect!
Together, we can create something that resonates with readers of all backgrounds.
Fill out the form below and I’ll reach out to you within two working days to discuss the details.
Read about a client’s experience
Inkarakter provided sensitivity reading for my transgender character in my book, Dissonance. They read the necessary chapters and provided valuable insight and suggestions that I implemented. I really wanted my book to represent a trans man authentically and respectfully, and Inkarakter made that a reality.

I highly recommend sensitivity reading, and fully intend to use this service again!
